Very good experience with Vox, I have improved my German significantly thanks to the dedication of our teacher (Priska) and the smaller group setting was in particular very helpful!
(Translated by Google) They take care of the students when they can't attend class. The professors and the school administration are professional and friendly. Thank you! (Original) Sie kümmern sich um die Schüler, wenn diese nicht zum Unterricht kommen kann. Die Professoren und die Leitung der Schule sind professionell und freundlich. Danke!
Very happy with the school (C1 course). Great service from the management of the school (thanks to Evgenia, Ekaterina and all). Very happy with teacher Fabian, always very keen and at disposal. Definitely suggest it.
(Translated by Google) As a teacher, teaching at VOX gives me incredible joy. Not only is the organization top-notch, but the groups I've taught have always been very dynamic, motivated, and entertaining. Overall, it's an excellent learning environment. (Original) Als Lehrerin bereitet mir das Unterrichten bei VOX unglaubliche Freude. Nicht nur die Organisation ist top, sondern auch die Gruppen, welche ich unterrichten durfte, waren immer sehr dynamisch, motiviert und unterhaltsam. Im Grossen und Ganzen eine ausgezeichnete Lernatmosphäre.
(Translated by Google) I attended a super-intensive online course. My French teacher, Sébastien, made the lessons very varied and engaging. I could ask questions about any grammar topic or vocabulary, and Sébastien would then review and explain everything clearly. I also found the small talk sessions in French with Sébastien quite helpful and enjoyable. I learned a great deal and will be taking the DALF C1 exam in about six weeks. The free trial lesson with the teacher Nathalie in Winterthur also impressed me, and I found the school's location very convenient. The only thing I have to criticize was the organization involved in finding a group French course at the C1 level. While the administrative staff were all friendly, I originally wanted to attend a group course in Winterthur starting in mid-August, but I only received a reply to my emails about once a week, so I ended up taking an online course starting in early September. In retrospect, I also found the online option very good, because the lessons themselves were extremely well-structured and informative. Therefore, I would still like to take another course at the Vox language school. :) (Original) Ich habe einen „super-intensiven“ Onlinekurs besucht. Mein Französisch-Lehrer Sébastien hat den Unterricht sehr abwechslungsreich und spannend gestaltet. Ich konnte zu jedem Grammatik-Thema oder zum Wortschatz Fragen stellen und dies wurde dann gemeinsam mit Sébastien angeschaut und verständlich erklärt. Die Smalltalks auf Französisch mit Sébastien fand ich auch ganz hilfreich und angenehm. Ich konnte sehr viel lernen und werde in etwa sechs Wochen die DALF C1-Prüfung absolvieren. Die kostenlose Probelektion mit der Lehrerin Nathalie in Winterthur hat mich ebenfalls überzeugt und die Lage der Schule habe ich auch sehr gut gefunden. Das einzige, was ich etwas bemängeln muss, war die Organisation bis ein Französisch-Gruppenkurs auf C1-Niveau gefunden werden konnte. Die Mitarbeiter der Administration waren zwar alle freundlich, jedoch wollte ich ursprünglich ab Mitte August einen Gruppenkurs in Winterthur besuchen, aber bekam z. T. nur etwa einmal pro Woche eine Antwort per Mail und besuchte dann schliesslich einen Onlinekurs ab Anfang September. Im Nachhinein habe ich es online aber auch sehr gut gefunden, weil die Lektionen an sich äusserst lehrreich aufgebaut waren. Deshalb würde ich dennoch gerne wieder einen Kurs bei der Vox Sprachschule besuchen. :)
Excellent VOX to learn German and especially with the teacher Nathalie N. ! Clean and tidy rooms, professional and pedagogical teacher, small groups and very nice people ! Thank you very much VOX !
I had the privilege to meet my teachers Kenny and Alex and learn German in a proactive and fun way. They inspired me to continously improve my german skills and not be afraid of speaking a new language. They always accommodated with the needs of the students and really emerge us in the culture and language. I recommend VOX to anybody that wants to learn German.
(Translated by Google) It's a very good school for learning languages, I recommend it. (Original) Es ist eine sehr gute Schule um Sprachen zu lernen, ich empfehle es.
(Translated by Google) I am very satisfied with the school's performance and can highly recommend it. I had the opportunity to work with Isabelle Wegmüller and Isabel Paraguassu, with whom I learned a great deal and made significant progress. The school's administrative team is dedicated, attentive, and flexible. It was perfect! (Original) Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit den Leistungen der Schule und kann sie nur empfehlen. Ich hatte die Gelegenheit, mit Isabelle Wegmüller und Isabel Paraguassu zu arbeiten, mit denen ich viel gelernt und Fortschritte gemacht habe. Das Verwaltungsteam der Schule ist engagiert, aufmerksam und flexibel. Das war perfekt !
I have just completed A1 German intensive with Ruben and I have to say, it really makes a difference when you have a teacher who is truly passionate about what they are teaching. The course felt well organised and I felt comfortable making mistakes (lots of them!) I would highly recommend this course for beginners as it gives you a great base line and understanding of how the language works. Danke Ruben & VOX
Very profissional staff and teachers. The classes are fun and the pace is just right.
Great teachers, flexible schedule, convenient location - I enjoyed my German B2 and C1 classes I had with VOX.

Many people struggle to learn English due to psychological barriers preventing them from actively speaking. At VOX-Sprachschule, we have developed a methodology that grants you the possibility to overcome whatever difficulties you may encounter when looking for the most efficient way to learn how to speak. Our teachers will constantly pay attention to your individual learning needs, which is guaranteed to make your experience at VOX-Sprachschule a success story.
Speaking is the most natural function of language. If we compare learning languages to learning an instrument, the key to success is practice - practicing playing or, in the case of languages, speaking. Once the connections between your brain and the muscles responsible for speech are established, you can create beautifully sounding sentences. At VOX-Sprachschule, you will learn to speak actively - understanding, reading, and writing will follow.
